Old Bud Jackson, one of the tcrrors OF
Montana, lost his fourth wife, and came
over into Dakota for fifth victim. tic
met and married the widow Baggs, irail,
gentle looking little woman, who had just
been left widow for the third time, and
seemed crushed to earth by her losses.
Mr.. and Mrs. Jackson wended their way
to Buds Montana home, and as the gush-
ing bridegroom led his bride into his lovely
cot Of one room ond introduced her to his
favori,e dogs, he said tenderly:
."You want to remember, Mr.. Jackson,
that Pm the boss here. The four dear
companions tlat I've laid away, mighty

was to crook my finger and they come il
runnin to know what wanted. There

slight diff 'rences ever had with the four
dear companions that are gone. They gin

hope you'l be equally obeejent.
"Now ,'posen you take my boots an

The irail, sad.eycd little bride did not
move. Her pretty lips began to tremblc,
her gentle bosom heaved.
"You comin'?' roared Jackson. "lIcv

comm, eh:'
on her way and, with set lips and eyes that
twinkled merrily, she landed within two
feet of Bud. He had faced wild cats and
hycnas, but never anything like this. n

cisive. 1t ended in Buds crawling under
the bed, and his bride prodded him with a
hoe handle as she gaily shouted:

Jane Baggs Jackson, her that never did nor
never will take word Of sass from any

she is given a dinner on the eve of her
marriage, the bridegroom gives u farewell
bachelor dinner, they are given a dinner
on returning from their trip and they are
expected to give dinner in return. These
dinners to announce engagements are usu-

slyly known, but sometimes the guests, or
some of them at least, are surprised. The
father or nearest male relative of the lady
usually makes the announcement at the
close of the dinner and pretty practice
sometimes indulged is for each guest to
pick up flower and throw it at the
